When Jesse heard Connor’s words, his face turned dark.
After all, he was kind enough to lend money to Connor, but Connor was acting all high and mighty.
“I don’t know if I’m rich, but I’m definitely richer than you!”
Jesse hesitated for a moment before coldly replying to Connor.
Jesse was clearly angry.
Connor turned and glanced at Jesse indifferently, not saying anything.
When Jesse saw that Connor was quiet, he naturally did not continue to pay attention to Connor.
Instead, he turned to Quinn and said, “Hey beautiful, how about this? I’ll lend you 50,000 dollars. If you win, you can return it to me. If you lose, you don’t need to return the money. What do you think?”
It was obvious that Jesse’s offer to Quinn was very tempting.
After all, if Quinn lost, she wouldn’t have to bear any responsibility.
Quinn was obviously tempted, but seeing that Connor didn’t seem to want to talk to Jesse, she shook her head and whispered to Jesse, “No, thanks…”
When Jesse heard Quinn’s answer, he frowned, but he did not say anything else. A few minutes later, the competition was finally about to start.
Two men who were at least 1.9 meters tall walked onto the stage.
One of them was a professional kickboxing expert, and the other was an ordinary person, but he looked very strong.
Barry placed his bet on the ordinary person, but most of the audience chose to bet on the kickboxing expert.
After all, in the eyes of the ordinary audience, a kickboxing expert who had undergone professional training would definitely be more powerful than an ordinary person who had come from an unorthodox background.
The battle between the two of them was very exciting.
The kickboxing expert obviously had the upper hand. The audience below the stage would occasionally burst into screams.
Although Jesse had always acted like he was spending money like dirt, he was still a little nervous when he saw that the ordinary person was about to lose.
On one hand, Jesse was worried about his 100,000 dollars.
On the other hand, Jesse was worried that if Barry made the wrong bet, he would lose face.
“Barry, that person won’t lose, right?”
Jesse hesitated for a moment before asking Barry softly.
“No…”
Barry shook his head without thinking. He was calm and confident.
Jesse saw the confidence on Barry’s face and didn’t say anything else.
After a few minutes, the ordinary person who was originally at a disadvantage actually began to counterattack, and with just three punches, he directly took down the professional kickboxer.
When Jesse saw that he had won, he could not help but shout. He was very excited.
The others were also very happy. After all, they had all won.
Then, the second match began.
Everyone started to place their bets. This time, they chose to follow Barry.
One boxer after another came on stage, and the match became more and more exciting. Many of the spectators became excited.
The audience who won were naturally very happy, and those who lost were also anxious and red in the eyes. They were just short of betting their entire fortune. “Barry, you’re amazing! We won again!”
Jesse shouted excitedly.
“My luck is pretty good today,”
Barry was obviously more low-key than Jesse and the others. He replied indifferently with a hint of pride in his eyes.
No matter what, Barry was a professional Taekwondo athlete.
He could still see some of the tricks in it. Although he couldn’t guess correctly every time, the chances of winning were still very high.
Out of the five matches, Barry guessed four correctly.
Jesse and Melissa’s friends had won a lot of money because of Barry, and the way they looked at him had changed.
Even Quinn was a little tempted because she knew that the money these people had won was enough to treat her mother’s illness several times and send her to school.
Quinn came from a poor family, so it was normal for her to be tempted by this. When Jesse saw that the fire had been lighted, he turned to look at Connor and Quinn. Then, he asked with a smile, “Connor, Quinn, do you two want to bet?” “No…”
Connor shook his head without thinking. After all, this money was nothing to him.
Seeing Connor reject him, he smiled and looked at Quinn. He said softly,
Quinn, you saw it for yourself just now. Barry is so good at this. The few of us are making so much money right now. If you don’t have any money now, I can lend it to you. Wien you win, you can return the money to me. If you lose, I don’t need you to return it…”
When Quinn heard Jesse’s tempting conditions, she couldn’t help but hesitate for a moment before turning to look at Connor.
“If you want to bet, then bet. Don’t look at me!”
Connor said expressionlessly.
Quinn hesitated for a moment, then whispered to Jesse, “Alright then, lend me 2,000 dollars please…”
“2,000 dollars? I’ll just lend you 10,000 dollars…”
Jesse replied heroically and then placed a bet of io,ooo dollars on Quinn’s behalf.
When Quinn saw Jesse place his bet, she became nervous.
After all, if he lost, it would be troublesome.
Jesse and Barry looked at each other. They were both very excited. It was
obvious that they had finally achieved their goal.
Connor watched everything expressionlessly. He knew what Jesse and Barry wanted to do.
However, Connor felt that he hadn’t known Quinn for a long time, and some things were out of his control.
Connor had planned to ask Thomas Morgan to find a job for Quinn after the competition ended. Then, he would find a better hospital to treat her mother’s illness. After all, it was fate that they met.
However, if Quinn wanted to use her own efforts to raise her mother’s medical expenses, that was her own business. Connor couldn’t care less.
As expected, Quinn, Jesse, and the others won 10,000 dollars in the next round.
Quinn looked very happy as she thanked Jesse and Barry.
“Connor, are you sure you don’t want to play with us?”
After Jesse won the money, he asked Connor with a smug expression.
